COVID's CFR. The difference is that more people are tested for COVID each day than are tested each year because of the flu.
With those levels of testing, it's way easier to capture the deaths of unhealthy and elderly people as COVID.
The flu also has a vaccine that is administered each year, and it still kills tens of thousands.
The comparisons of the viruses are still valid. The comparisons of the public reaction are not.
